Listed and certified by Guardian Fire Test Laboratories Inc. Features -ASTM E-119, ASTM E-84 Tested -Decorative Finish- Gives a smooth decorative finish. -Can be top coated to color choice. -Smooth/ Flat surface -Durable finish- Provides a hard, impact and abrasion resistant surface -Topcoat finishes smooth -Thin film coating- space saving smaller column footprints -Low VOC content -LEED compliant Color White Finish Smooth Primers Must be applied over a compatible primer. (ALKYD, EPOXY) Generally not recommended for primers with zinc metals. Top Coating For interior conditioned space a topcoat is optional. For exterior applications the material must be top coated with an impermeable exterior coating. The choice of topcoat will depend on project requirements. FireGuard E-84® Intumescent Coating must be allowed to cure for 4-5 days prior to the application of a topcoat. Application must be protected from the elements until topcoat is in place. Wet Film Up to 25 - 30 mils per coat Thickness Dry Film Up to 13.5 - 16.2 mils per coat Thickness Solids Content By volume 54% Coverage rate 866ft²/ Gal at 1mil 86ft²/ Gal at 10mil 28.9ft²/ Gal at 30mil Allow for loss in mixing and application. VOC Content 3.6 g/l Limitations Not for use on exterior environments or for interior steelwork that will be exposed to freeze/thaw cycling or long-term surface temperatures over 140˚F (60˚C) in normal use without the use of a suitable top coat. Application Conditions General Prior to application, steel surfaces need to be cleaned by removing all oil, grease or any loose particles that may interfere with the bond of ForceField® FireGuard®. The substrate must then be primed with a compatible primer.

Mixing Fireguard® must be mixed using a ½” electric or air driven drill with a slotted paddle or jiffy mixer blade. Mix material for a minimum of 5 minutes to achieve the necessary texture required before spraying. Thinning Do not thin. Tinting Do not tint. Airless Spray A single coat, built up with a number of quick passes, allows greater control over quantities, thickness and finish. In most conditions, it is advantageous to apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat Application Rates At an ambient temperature of 70˚F (21˚C), the following application rates are applicable: Max 25 – 30 mil wet per coat depending on application, 24 hour recoat time between coats 1 coat per day *Fireguard can be recoated when previous coat has a shore D hardness of 50 measured at 70˚F (21˚C) Substrates & Surface Preparation Performance Data Mixing & Thinning Application Procedures May 2015.

Woodstock, GA 30188 (770) 517-6869 Received 5/11/17 Cleanup Pump, Gun, Tips, Hoses, and Mixers should be cleaned once per day with clean water. Safety It is recommended protective equipment should be worn when applying Fireguard®, including spray suits, eye protection, gloves, and respirators. Refer to Fireguard® Material Safety Data Sheet. Ventilation Ventilation should not be less than 4 complete air exchanges per hour until the material is dry. General If coating becomes damaged, rebuild required thickness by spray or trowel. When dry, smooth and finish with topcoat to match. Damaged areas must be abraded back to a firm edge by sanding or scraping. The topcoat should be abraded back 1” (25.4 mm) from the damaged area. The surface must be clean and dry before applying Fireguard®. Uncertainty Measurement in Guardian’s fire testing is less than 1% as per ASTM E 2536-06. Guardian is accredited and meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 as verified by ANSI/ASQ National Accreditation Board/ A CLASS. Refer to certificate and scope of accreditation report AT1247. Guardian also is accredited as an inspection agency per ISO 17020 through ANSI/ASQ National Accreditation Board/ ACLASS, Report 1547.
